Dark Matter Beyond the Weak Scale II

25 Mar 2024, 09:00 → 28 Mar 2024, 17:00 Europe/London

OC218 (IPPP)

Dark Matter beyond the Weak Scale, or BeyondWimps, is a workshop with the aim of building connections between the theory community working on problems of astroparticle physics and upcoming experiments that focus on new dark matter searches beyond traditional weak scale WIMPs. This is the second instalment of the workshop, the previous edition in Liverpool was a great success. 

The meeting will be hosted at Durham University and will take place from 25-28 March 2024. Accomodation information has been communicated to invited speakers, but feel free to get in touch if you need help planning your visit.

Organised by:
Djuna Croon (Durham University),
Edward Hardy (University of Oxford),
Juri Smirnov (University of Liverpool).
